001: Accidental Video + Action

[trenchknives]

[The video comes on accidentally. Jimmy's too angry to even notice he pushed the button.]

Where the fuck am I? I want some goddamn facts.

[In his frustration, he drops the camera to the ground, then bends down to scoop it up, giving everyone a look at his irate expression. It sounds as though he's talking to himself, unaware that anything is broadcasting.]

It doesn't make a difference why they did this. Doesn't make a difference at all. I'm gonna find them.

[A few seconds later, he approaches the first person he sees on the street, reaching out to grab at their shoulders, catching their eye.]

Who are you? Who do you work for? What, you too scared to talk?

[[OOC: You can either be one of the unlucky people seeing his grumpy video... or, if you want, you can be the unfortunate one getting questioned on the street. This is a great way to make friends, really.]]

Nuck? Is that you?

[He's not quite sure. It sounds like him, and the man has a pretty damn recognizable voice, but...]

You sound like hell.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

What?

I do not.

[Hey. He happens to like his voice.]

Re: voice;

[trenchknives]

You sound... different.

[A pause.]

And why the fuck're you talking to me, anyway?

voice;

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Because you're on the Network asking questions, you jackass.

Re: voice;

[trenchknives]

It's not like we parted on good fuckin' terms, okay?

voice;

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Wait. Who are you?

Re: voice;

[trenchknives]

Oh, now you're gonna play that fuckin' game? I know all your games, Nucky. You can't play them on me.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

[Oh holy shit, names.]

My name is not Nucky.

Re: voice;

[trenchknives]

[This is Jimmy's "what the actual fuck" voice.]

What the fuck do you mean your name's not Nucky? Okay, yeah, you sound kinda weird, but I just talked to you yesterday. I'm pretty sure I know what you sound like. Where are you? Lemme see you.

[TA DA. NOT NUCKY.]

Re: video;

[trenchknives]

You look like hell, too.

[Sorry, he's clearly not believing you.]

: video;

[pinkeffinprofessional]

I-

I do not!

[Annoyed]

And I don't know any blond punks that look like you. I already have one blond punk in my life and he makes a fucking mess of it all on his own.

Re: : video;

[trenchknives]

[He's really confused now. And maybe a little hurt, but he's hiding it as best he can.]

Why're you pretending you don't know me?

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Okay, kid -

First off, what kind of name is Nucky.

Re: video;

[trenchknives]

Are you actually...

[He takes a deep breath.]

It's short for Enoch. It's Biblical or something.

Kid, if my name were Enoch, I wouldn't have complained about going as Mr. Pink.

Re: video;

[trenchknives]

You call yourself Mr. Pink? That's a really fucking dumb pseudonym, or disguise, or whatever you're trying to accomplish.

[He's starting to be pretty unsure about who this guy actually is.]

[pinkeffinprofessional]

No, everyone else calls me Mr. Pink.

[trenchknives]

Okay, so what d'you call yourself?

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Not Nucky.

[trenchknives]

Right. Okay, Mr. Not Nucky Pink, where the fuck am I?

[pinkeffinprofessional]

The City.

[trenchknives]

Oh yeah, okay, lemme get this straight. You're Not Nucky, and this is the City, and everything is really vague for what reason exactly?

[pinkeffinprofessional]

This place fucks with people.
